In 2025, the Abu Dhabi Labour Court made real progress in defending workers’ rights by resolving disputes and providing financial benefits to almost 12,536 workers totaling more than Dhs309 million. This illustrates the judicial system’s effective operation and prompt response to guarantee that claims are fulfilled in compliance with legal regulations under the executive leadership of judicial procedures that support the business sector’s competitiveness by upholding rights and safeguarding obligations.
As the court celebrates International Workers’ Day, which falls on May 1st every year, with accomplishments that demonstrate that upholding rights is the greatest way to honor development partners, this yearly harvest is a clear and obvious reflection of appreciation for the efforts of the staff working in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. This performance is based on an advanced judicial and technological system that allows for the immediate resolution of disputes, ensuring the protection of both parties to the contractual relationship – workers and employers – through the precise and transparent enforcement of the law that guarantees the worker his rights and the employer the stability of his establishment, which directly reflects on enhancing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global economic hub committed to providing a balanced and sustainable work environment.
Through the Labour Awareness Office, which has been successful in reaching thousands of workers in their various languages with the goal of establishing a legal culture that makes all parties aware of their responsibilities and duties, Abu Dhabi Labour Court places a high priority on prevention in addition to its judicial role. In order to promote business continuity and investment flow based on an integrated system that establishes effective justice as a guarantee for the stability of the labor market, the office seeks to reduce labor disputes and achieve the sustainability and stability of the contractual relationship.
